Also, when an element is referred to as being “on” another element, it can be directly on the another element or be indirectly on the another element with one or more intervening elements interposed therebetween. Further, some of the elements that are not essential to the complete description of the invention have been omitted for clarity. In addition, like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.
In the drawings, the thickness of layers, films, panels, regions, etc., are exaggerated for clarity. Like reference numerals designate like elements throughout the specification.
In order to clarify the present invention, elements extrinsic to the description are omitted from the details of this description, and like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.
In several exemplary embodiments, constituent elements having the same configuration are representatively described in a first exemplary embodiment by using the same reference numeral and only constituent elements other than the constituent elements described in the first exemplary embodiment will be described in other embodiments.
A PDP has a structure as follows. On a rear substrate, address electrodes are disposed in one direction, and a dielectric layer is disposed on the address electrodes. Barrier ribs are formed on the dielectric layer in a stripe pattern. Red (R), green (G), and blue (B) phosphor layers are positioned on the discharge cells between the barrier ribs.
On one surface of a front substrate facing the rear substrate, display electrodes are formed in a crossing direction with respect to the address electrodes, wherein each display electrode is composed of a pair of a transparent electrode and a bus electrode. A dielectric layer and a protection layer are formed on the front substrate, covering the display electrodes. A discharge cell is formed on the cross-section of the address electrodes of the rear substrate and the display electrodes of the front substrate.
In the PDP, address discharge is performed by applying an address voltage (Va) to a space between the address electrodes and the display electrodes. When a sustain voltage (Vs) is applied to a space between a pair of display electrodes, an excitation source generated from the sustain discharge excites corresponding phosphors to thereby emit visible light through the front substrate and display an image. The phosphors are usually excited by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) rays.
The phosphor layer is formed by using red, green, and blue phosphors. Each Phosphor emits visible light due to synchrotron radiation of Xe ions (147 nm VUV rays).
In general, a phosphor for a plasma display should have excellent light emitting luminance, luminous efficiency, and color purity, and also a short decay time. In particular, it should not be deteriorated by heat or ultraviolet (UV) rays.
A conventional plasma display panel (PDP) may include ZnSi2O4:Mn as a green phosphor or a mixture phosphor of YBO3:Tb and (Ba, Sr, Mg)O.aAl2O3:Mn (where a ranges from 1 to 23). However, the ZnSi2O4:Mn phosphor has excellent luminance but a problem of deteriorating life-span, and particularly an increasing discharge voltage, since it has a negative surface charge. In addition, the YBO3:Tb phosphor has excellent luminance, life-span, and discharge voltage characteristics but has a problem of deteriorating color purity. The (Ba, Sr, Mg)O.aAl2O3:Mn (where a ranges from 1 to 23) phosphor has the best color purity and excellent discharge voltage characteristics, but has a problem of life-span deterioration and a long decay time.
In addition, another YAl3 (BO)4:Tb green phosphor for a plasma display panel (PDP) has excellent luminance, discharge, and life-span characteristics, and a short decay time of about 6 ms. However, when the conventional green phosphors are applied to a plasma display panel (PDP), they have minor peaks at about 480 nm, about 590 nm, or about 620 nm in addition to a major peak at about 540 nm. In particular, the green phosphors with minor peaks may have a negative influence on the color purity. The green phosphors with minor peaks representatively include YAl3(BO)4:Tb, YBO3:Tb, GdAl3(BO3)4:Tb, (Y,Gd)BO3:Tb, GdBO3:Tb, and the like.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, a PDP includes a first substrate and a second substrate facing each other, a plurality of address electrodes disposed on the first substrate, a plurality of display electrodes disposed on one side of the second substrate facing the first substrate in a direction crossing the address electrodes, and red, green, and blue phosphor layers disposed in a discharge space between the first substrate and the second substrate. The green phosphor layer includes a green phosphor and an inorganic pigment absorbing a wavelength ranging from about 580 nm to about 640 nm.
In particular, the inorganic pigment absorbs a wavelength ranging from about 585 nm to about 595 nm and about 615 nm to about 625 nm. Since it absorbs a wavelength ranging from about 580 nm to about 640 nm, it can improve color purity of a green phosphor when the green phosphor emits visible light due to vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) rays. In addition, when the green phosphor emits light, it is beneficial to absorb a wavelength ranging from about 585 nm to about 595 nm and about 615 nm to about 625 nm that deteriorates color purity of the green phosphor.
The inorganic pigment may include any cyanide-based, silicate-based, or oxysulfide-based pigment, as long as it absorbs a wavelength ranging from about 580 nm to about 640 nm. Examples of the inorganic pigment may be selected from the group consisting of: blue (Fe[Fe(III)Fe(II)(CN)6]3, Fe4[Fe(CN)6]3.nH2O (where n is an integer of 1 or more)); ultramarine blue (NapAl6Si6O24Sq (where p is an integer ranging from 6 to 10, and q is an integer ranging from 2 to 4)), Fe(NH4)Fe(CN)6.xH2O (where x is an integer of 1 or more); phthalocyanine blue; cobalt blue (CoO.Al2O3); vanadium blue; 2(Co,Zn)O.SiO2; ZrSiO4; cerulean blue (CoO.nSiO2.MgO (where n is an integer of 1 or more)); Prussian blue (KFe[Fe (CN)6]); (Co(SCN)4)−2; and a combination thereof. In particular, it may be selected from the group consisting of: blue (Fe[Fe(III)Fe(II)(CN)6]3, Fe4[Fe(CN)6)]3.nH2O (where x is an integer of 1 or more)); ultramarine blue (NapAl6Si6O24Sq (where p is an integer ranging from 6 to 10, and q is an integer ranging from 2 to 4)), Fe(NH4)Fe(CN)6.xH2O (where x is an integer of 1 or more); (Co(SCN)4)−2; and a combination thereof.
The green phosphor may include any green phosphor for a plasma display. The green phosphor is selected from the group consisting of YAl3(BO)4:Tb, YBO3:Tb, (Ba, Sr, Mg)O.aAl2O3:Mn (where a ranges from 1 to 23), Y2SiO5:Tb, Gd2O2S:Tb, ZnS:(Cu, Al), ZnSiO4:Mn, Zn(Ga, Al)2O4:Mn, GdAl3(BO3)4:Tb, (Y,Gd)BO3:Tb, GdBO3:Tb, and a combination thereof, and in particular, the group consisting of YAl3 (BO)4:Tb, YBO3:Tb, and a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto.
However, the YAl3 (BO)4:Tb has excellent luminance, discharge, and life-span characteristics among the green phosphors. In addition, it has reduced decay time of about 6 ms or less. In addition, when the YAl3(BO)4:Tb is used with the inorganic pigment, it can further improve color purity.
The green phosphor layer may include the inorganic pigment and the green phosphor in a weight ratio ranging from about 0.5:99.5 to about 10:90. In another embodiment, it may include them in a weight ratio ranging from 1:99 to 5:95. Herein, when the inorganic pigment is included in a smaller amount, it may deteriorate color purity. When it is included in a larger amount, it may deteriorate luminance characteristic.
The inorganic pigment can be simply mixed with the green phosphor to prepare a green phosphor, or it can be coated on the surface thereof. When the green phosphor is coated with an inorganic pigment on the surface, it can further absorb a wavelength ranging from about 580 nm to about 640 nm.
The green phosphor has a particle diameter ranging from about 2 μm to about 5 μm, and in another embodiment it has a particle diameter ranging from about 2.5 μm to about 3 μm. The inorganic pigment has a particle diameter ranging from about 0.002 μm to 1.5 μm, and in another embodiment it has a particle diameter ranging from about 0.01 μm to about 0.8 μm, while in a still further embodiment, it has a particle diameter ranging from about 0.05 μm to 0.2 μm. When the inorganic pigment has a smaller particle diameter, the green phosphor may have little effect on increasing color purity. When it has a larger particle diameter, it may deteriorate light-emission of a phosphor on the surface, generally decreasing efficiency.
The green phosphor and the inorganic pigment may have a particle diameter ratio ranging from 1:about 0.1 to about 0.8. In another embodiment, they have a particle diameter ratio ranging from 1:about 0.3 to about 0.4. When they have a particle diameter ratio within the range, they can accomplish excellent luminous efficiency and color purity.
Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be realized in various different ways, and is not limited to the illustrated embodiments.
The barrier ribs 5 may be formed in any shape, as long as their shape can partition the discharge space. In addition, the barrier ribs 5 can have diverse patterns. For example, the barrier ribs 5 may be formed as an open type such as stripes, or as a closed type such as a waffle, a matrix, or a delta shape. The closed-type barrier ribs may form a discharge space with a horizontal cross-section of a polygon such as a quadrangle, a triangle, or a pentagon, or of a circle or an oval.
Next, display electrodes 9 and 11, each including a pair of a transparent electrode (9 a, 11 a) and a bus electrode (9 b, 11 b), are disposed in a direction crossing the address electrodes 13 (an X direction in the drawing) on one surface of a second substrate 1 facing the first substrate 3. Also, a dielectric layer 17 and a MgO protective layer 19 are disposed on the surface of the second substrate 1 while covering the display electrodes 9 and 11.
Discharge cells are formed at positions where the address electrodes 13 of the first substrate 3 are crossed by the display electrodes 9 and 11 of the second substrate 1.
The PDP is operated by performing address discharge by applying an address voltage (Va) to a space between the address electrodes 13 and the display electrodes 9 and 11 and a sustain voltage (Vs) to a space between a pair of display electrodes 9 and 11. Herein, an excitation source is generated from a sustain discharge and excites corresponding phosphors to thereby emit visible light through the second substrate 1 and display an image. The phosphors are usually excited by vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) rays.
The following examples illustrate the present invention in more detail. However, it is understood that the present invention is not limited by these examples.
